STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 320,620, dated June 23, 1885.

Application filed May 13,1884. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that we, BURT ABBOTT BRIG- DEN and EDWIN CANNON, J r., of Moravia, in the county of Cayuga and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Stove, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of our invention is to provide a stove or heater of simple and durable construction, and one which shall economize fuel by consuming the combustible gases arising from the fuel.

The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which the figure is a vertical sectional elevation of our improved stove.

The letterA indicates the body of the stove; B, its fire-pot, supported from the stove-body by arms or stays b, of any suitable construction. 0 is the fire-grate at the bottom of the fire-pot, fitted to be shaken or upset by a rod, 0, and handle (2. The coal-magazine D is arranged over the fire-pot B to supply the fuel thereto, and has a cover, E, of any suitable design, by which it may be closed. F is an ash-pan, held below the grate in the usual way. Around the fire-pot B, and preferably low down and near its bottom or grate, we fit a horizontally'arranged partition, G, which.

cuts off all passage of the gases from the coal to the smoke-flue, except through the fire pOt and grate, and we locate the smoke-flue H in the stove shown below the line or plane of the partition G. The smoke and draft passage from the base of the fire-pot to the flue H may have any for1nthat 'is to say, said passage may be direct or take atortuous course through the base of the stove, as by the return-fines I J. (Shown in the drawing.) Any suitable pipe'connections, K, may be made with the line H to connect it with the chimney.

In the example shown there is a space or chamber, L, surrounding the fuel-n1agazine and the fire-pot, in which chamber the hot gases arising from the combustion of the fuel may freely circulate within the body of the stove;

M, near the partition G, and said openings are to be controlled by check-dampers N, of any suitable construction, for regulating the fire as may be desired. The Obj ect sought in placing the openings M low down is to make the fire burn more freely at the very base of the firepot next the grate, and thereby avoid the ignition and hasty burning of the whole body of coal in the fire pot.

It is evident that the gases arising from the burning fuel in the space or chamber L will be confined therein and must take their exit downward through the firepot to the flue H, which insures almost complete combustion of said gases with great heating effect from the fuel and with maximum economy Of fuel.

The relative areas of the draft-openings M and draft-flue H are such that no back-draft of dangerous noncombustible gases can occur to discharge such gases into the room in which the stove or heater is placed.

Having thus fully described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, with the stove-body A and the fire-pot B C, of the partition G, at or near the base of the fire-pot, a smoke-flue, H, below the line of said partition, and draft-openings M in the sides of the body A above the said partition and below the center of the firepot, whereby the draft will not pass through the whole body of coal, but only through the lower portion of the same, thereby causing a complete and even combustion of the coal and gases, substantially as shown and described.
